The true parrot may become aggressive once it mature. I use the word may loosely gl beautiful cichlid.

I have an Oscar and True Parrot together in a 240g. It's been about 6 months or so, and no issues between the two. The Parrot does seem more a bit more aggressive, as he is always chasing a Sev and EBA away..... but he never bothers the Oscar.

Very hit or miss on aggression. They tend to go after fish that may look like them like severums, chocolate cichlids, etc.

I had one go after a few geos and angels but no hard death chasing. Just wanted his territory
